The Sabina Elementary School cafeteria was full of people enjoying breakfast and a respite after the annual Brett Wightman Memorial 5K run. The young people wearing blue and seated at the closest row of tables are with the U.S. Marine Corps’ Recruiting Sub-Station (RSS) in Xenia. They were there in memory of a fellow Marine, an RSS official said.

Runners and walkers braved the cold temperatures Saturday morning for the eighth annual Brett Wightman Memorial 5K, a fundraiser with proceeds going toward scholarships for East Clinton graduates. Lance Cpl. Brett Wightman, an East Clinton graduate, was one of 14 U.S. Marines killed in an August 2005 roadside bombing in northern Iraq.
